WordPress Popup Plugin - Capture Email Addresses and build a list with OptinMonster



in this video I'm gonna be showing you
how you can build your email list by
capturing email addresses from your
website visitors using a really cool
service called optinmonster it allows
you to create some really good-looking
forms forms that look just like this
that one's a full screen form and that's
the one that we're gonna be doing in
this particular video but it's really
easy to create a form that you want so
you could maybe have one that just sits
above the content in a box you can have
one that slides in and sits in the
corner of your site you can have
whatever you like and you can change the
colors and change the text and trace the
fields and yeah it's really flexible so
if you're looking to build your email
list and had a really cool form like the
one you just seen keep watching
let's go
[Music]
and always Alex here from WP eagle hope
you're all well thanks for watching now
if you're new to my channel hello good
to see ya we'd love to have you as a
subscriber to do that just click on the
subscribe button down there and click on
the Bell to be notified when I upload
new videos I try and do one at least
every week so today we're going to be
using the fantastic optinmonster to add
an email capture form to our WordPress
website it's a great way of building
your email list and then of course once
you have an email list you can send them
regular emails with offers promotions
news whatever you like really
optinmonster works with pretty much all
major email providers so MailChimp
Constant Contact mad Mimi I think that's
one of them yeah all those guys it
connects them really easily so if you
already using one of them you're good to
go if you don't already have some email
software set up I would recommend
MailChimp it's free to get started
you'll find a link to MailChimp in the
description of this video
now optinmonster is a really powerful
piece of software in this video I'm just
going to be scratching the surface of it
but if you want to get really deep into
your email marketing and building your
list it's got features like a bee
testing and advanced analytics and all
sorts of stuff even though optinmonster
has got loads of features and is really
powerful don't worry it's really easy to
use it's got a drag-and-drop interface
and it's pretty straightforward
in terms of getting a campaign up and
running and getting that form showing on
your website anyway I think that's
enough chitchat from me let's get on the
computer and let's get a campaign set up
let's go so the website I'm going to be
having optinmonster to today is this one
it's bow-wow tank which is an Amazon
affiliate website that I created quite
recently there's a full video tutorial
on the channel on how I made theirs
exact website so if you would like a
site just like this then check out the
description of this video and you'll
find a link to that video and yeah you
can watch it and make your very own
Amazon affiliate website so anyway the
first thing we need to do is set up our
optinmonster campaign
so I've got to monster open here in my
other tab put a link in a card now that
should pop up and also put any top-10
monster in the description below this
video please be aware that these are
affiliate links so if you do click
through and take out an opportune
Muenster plan I will earn a small
commission so thank you much I only
recommend products and services that I
use myself and I have confidence in
recommending to you guys so first
English probably take your fruit is the
pricing optinmonster is a premium
service and yeah for a premium service
you do need to pay so if we look at the
pricing it starts at a very reasonable
$9.00 per month and that will probably
enough for most of you if you've got one
site and you want to integrate we have
something that's quite popular like
MailChimp or Constant Contact then
you'll be fine but you can see all the
features here just click on this link
and then it goes up through the plastic
growth you'll also just try it for seven
days and if you don't like it for
whatever reason you can just cancel and
not pay a penny so anyway I already got
an account I'm gonna login so here is my
optinmonster dashboard I've already got
a website added it's one of my clients
websites they've been using it and
getting all really well with
optinmonster so I'll be able to add my
bow alt text site when we create the
campaign you probably haven't got any
sites in your account because it's
bright in your account so the first
thing you need to do is click create
campaign the first option is to decide
on the campaign type there's a few
options that are available with
optinmonster so you've got the kind of
standard traditional pop up which just
appears in the middle of the screen over
your content the next one is full screen
which fills the full screen so you know
covers everything you can add a
background image and add some
transparency that kind of thing if you
like the next one is slide in where
little box comes in from the side and
sits down in the corner then there is a
floating bar which basically just floats
over your website and sits at the top of
the screen all the bottom the screen
depending on
we like it and the final one is in line
where you would kind of put a form
within your content or just somewhere on
your page on the site I don't go for
full screen today it's one of my
favorites I think it works really well
the next thing is template so this is
the look and feel of the form that's
going to pop up
just choose one that you like that look
off it's gonna work well with your site
and you go with this one called entrance
no need to give it a name it's going to
call it newsletter signup but then need
to select a site so I don't want that
one I'm gonna so we need to give the
campaign a name I'm just gonna call it
newsletter signup then we need to choose
a website so I need to add a new website
and then click on that link there then I
can add my new website give it a name
bow tick then enter the domain name
bow-wow tech credit UK then just click
start building so now we're ready to
start editing our form so this is the
standard opt-in type form which is just
got a box for the email address and a
big bun it's also got a no thanks link
as well
you can't have a yes/no view I'll just
expand that so you can see looks like
you basically have two buttons so this
is useful if you want to send people off
to a signup page or something like that
but I'm gonna go for the traditional
opt-in then we could just click on these
elements to change them so I want to
change this heading it's white text on a
white background so if I've changed the
editor background to dark I can see it a
bit yeah but more clearly well in fact I
can see it which is helpful when you're
editing so I need to give it a nice
headline like getting the latest dog
tech straight I'm gonna go first first
I'm gonna change the paragraph texture
just again highlighting the text and
changing it the first to get deals and
offers the latest technology your dog
then change this bold text nice cool to
action oh I think I just lost the the
bold deaf doesn't matter we can add it
again you've got these controls up here
which just like word or word press or
whatever you use to there we go made
that bold just by highlighting and
clicking on the beat down here we can
adjust font sizes and Heights and or
even make it all capitals with the text
transform or uppercase maybe it's the
right term and leave it as it is then
got our boxes here we can adjust the
field so we've got email to edit any of
these fields to click on the pencil so
you can adjust the text enter your main
email address maybe some dots and you
got button there oh let me just click on
this pencil
you can change the text to whatever you
like can't even change colors and things
on hover just goes like green that's
fine down here we've got the no thanks
link you just click on that it's
actually a button so if I click on
button I can adjust the text here like
that you can just what's going to happen
when someone clicks on this button by
going into action so if this one is
going to go to the success view which is
basically the page that says thank you
for joining which is not really round
so I'm going to change the action to
close the campaign and you also got some
more styling options here which affect
basically the whole block so the
background and everything like that it's
currently transparent so that it looks
like it's just sitting on top so when
you're all done editing your fields and
forms you've got some other settings
here so we can adjust the view styles so
if you want to add an image adjust the
backgrounds now these affect just this
kind of square area where the text is
you'll see if I adjust this color or its
transparent let's just adjust that so
yeah it's just that area I'm gonna leave
a transparent I want to be able to see
the background image come fruit but you
can also add an image there so that
would just cover the square and you
could add borders and that kind of stuff
if you'd like it's all pretty
straightforward and the next one is the
fullscreen background so the moment is
just this blue color but I can add an
image slip one from your computer or
your that dog that us testing with
earlier but we get something else what
have we got doc fitness and was that
like okay
down here you got this toggle which says
set image layer first if I just that it
will put the color on top and then if we
click on the color and adjust the
transparency and the color if you like
don't like that obviously play around
with it as you like to to get the
effects that you're looking for so I'm
happy with that there's some options to
do with the close button you can turn on
a close button if you like just toggle
that switch there it is now if you'll
add some custom CSS you can do so in
there a few other options we've got are
the blocks so you can decide how many
columns and that kind of thing if you
want to add some extra things you just
find them here and just drag them over
the way you like them you could have a
countdown or some more buttons dividers
spaces whatever you need and display
settings you can set how long your
cookies gonna last and success cookie
you can turn off this optinmonster link
I'll leave it on there it's an affiliate
link you never know
then finally we got the full screen
settings which is just this one toggle
so buddyfight is going to fade in beam I
prefer to slide in from the top like
that if you do just tall that tall you
can adjust the success page over here
just by clicking on success so we can
adjust this text again let's switch to
the dark I'll just take out the web
partner and then adjust this text here
we sent you a link to your email
make sure you click the link to confirm
your subscription someone like that
actually I've just thought of something
when I typed in that subscription if
you're in Europe then you may want to
add a little bit of GDP our compliance
so we better do that in a second so here
we can adjust the block very similar to
block styling that we saw earlier this
just closed that so I do want to add a
background image to this success page so
let's go into success settings
you got your view styles again all the
stuff that we've basically just been
through so let me add let's add a
different dog image why not that was
good I had a bit of a poop overlay I
need to just toggle that blues okay I
think it just needs to be less
transparent there we go perfect so go
back you can add the close button again
there we go I think we're all done when
it comes to our opt-in and our success
let's click Save at the top here that's
all saved so next thing is the display
rules so here you can decide when you
want the pop-up or the fullscreen or
whatever basically when you want your
campaign to show so this is the default
rule so we see on any page if the time
on page is at least 5 seconds so I'm
just gonna remove this one clicking on
the little take away all that little
negative symbol then we're just time on
page to time on site is no more than
just great for 15 seconds there are
loads options in terms of configuring
how you want optinmonster to show and
when you want it to show
really
flexible so I flipped next step and show
the campaign view opt-in that's what we
want yep and there's a summary perfect
let's click Save
let's move on to next thing which is
integrations let's click over here and
click add new integration and you want
to find the email provider that you're
using I'm using the MailChimp then I
need to add my accounts so I'm going to
click add new account give it a label
then I need my MailChimp API key so I
can find that in MailChimp
I've got MailChimp just open in this tab
here first thing I do is create a bow
while technical list so I'll just go
into list there and create list this
will obviously vary depending on the
email software you're using the default
from address is Alex at bow-wow tech
comm default from name bow-wow Tech you
joined list that our tech comm perfect
edit your contact information there then
it's scroll right down to the bottom
click Save so we just need that API key
to do that you need to come up to the
top right go into profile then
integrations then if you scroll down
you'll find the API key section you
might need to create a key I've already
got a key so I'm just going to copy that
one into my clipboard go back to
optinmonster paste it in then click
connect to MailChimp
and that's worked and now we can choose
our list there's bow our technologies
created and turn on double oft in there
which I would highly recommend so we're
about ready to publish let's do that GDP
are tick box for those of you in Europe
I'm just gonna very quickly Dukes it's
not relevant to everybody I'm going to
go back to design gonna click on this
box here with the email address in the
button and you go to fields and then
we've got this available field privacy
and click + drag it down so it's at the
bottom and then we click on the pencil
to edit it and I click on edit privacy
style and I'm going to just going to
change the text so that it's kind of GDP
are compliant
I'm gonna go something like tick this
box to confirm you wish to receive
regular emails from bow-wow tech yeah
that's okay just going to make it white
by highlighting it click on this little
dropper then it's selecting white to
make it a little bit smaller
I need to move this toggle to add the
tick box like that thinking maybe it
should actually be bigger it looks
better smaller but I'm thinking people
might miss it let's make it a bit bigger
there we go and just down here we've got
the error message it's gonna adjust that
slightly and then I think we're done so
that's the gdpr bit all done so let's
just come here and save it so look at
the analytics so if you like you can't
connect to Google Analytics just click
on that button there and connect
yourself through so let's do that I'm
gonna click connect generate
authentication code you need to then
login to Google Analytics click allow
copy this code into my clipboard come
back here and paste it in and click next
then it shows it up here under active
connections then we just need to select
the profile which is now tech there we
go click Save and close
there we go so that's all done so now we
just need to make it live on the website
so it's going to publish make it live up
there and we see there is this WordPress
option here so we'll select that and we
just need to download the plug-in just
like that
and let's go back to WordPress go into
the dashboard scroll down go to plugins
then add new and then click upload
plug-in choose file I'll call it in my
downloads folder there it is
optinmonster dot zip select open then
install now okay so that's installed
let's click activate there we go
activated so let's click this button
here connect optinmonster click on this
button here connect your account we need
to enter our API key so if I heard back
to optinmonster so I'm just going to
save this then close it go up to my
account by clicking on my face go to API
then I click great new key bow-wow
click give it a name it says my new key
has been created and I just scroll down
there it is
click on this button it will put it in
my clipboard let's go back to the
website paste it in click connect to
optinmonster so let's go and check the
campaigns let's click refresh campaigns
there we go got a newsletter sign up
let's click go live and click on it's
just to double check all the settings
but they're generally fine as they come
make sure that first box is ticked you
can decide who's gonna see the campaign
and you got some other settings you
might play with to do with WooCommerce
or advanced settings if you want to
prevent it showing on certain pages or
categories well if you like really but I
think we're ready to go and see if it's
working let's go and visit the site for
15 seconds and see if it pops up so I
start the timer I'll just have a look
around the site while we're waiting for
those 15 seconds to pass it's looking
good
and there we go last 15 seconds it's
appeared so we can enter our email just
here click the button oh of course we
need to tick the box click the button
